Silver Jewell begonia

Garden uses

Notes

'Silver Jewell' begonia (Begonia 'Silver Jewell') is a perennial for borders, containers, and shade gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves all year. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows about 12 inches tall, which suits small spaces.

Pairs well with Blue star fern, Holly fern, Japanese aralia, and Frogfruit.
